Frederic School District reported as removed from 'needs improvement' designation in federal JFN packet
Summary
District administrators reported that the latest joint federal notification packet showed sufficient ELA and math proficiency gains to remove the district’s 'needs improvement' label, a change administrators attributed to targeted work with special-education and universal-differentiation practices.
District administrators told the board that the most recent joint federal notification (JFN) packet — the annual federal summary of assessment results — removed the Frederic School District from a prior 'needs improvement' designation. The prior designation related primarily to ELA and math proficiencies for students receiving special education services.
Administrators credited focused work on essential standards, differentiated instruction and targeted interventions for improvements in proficiency, noting particular gains for special-education students. The removal from the 'needs improvement' category was presented as validation of multi-year improvement efforts and staff collaboration with the state Department of Public Instruction (DPI).
Board members congratulated staff and flagged continued scheduling and planning work to sustain gains through curriculum and instruction adjustments.
